IMHO Prosthetic Makeup = Makeup Effect and Special Makeup = Makeup

For this reason I have written "per the rules". Because currently, these terms or similar are not in the table.

Quoting Gamemaster:

Quote:
According his personal website it's David Leroy Anderson in stead of David LeRoy Anderson. So maybe it's possible to check which of those two is common as well.

CLT is not case sensitive and many credits are in all caps so I don't think this is possible.

as Discostu pointed out CLT couldn't distinguish

True: "David Leroy Anderson" and "David LeRoy Anderson" are considered the same for our purposes. We do have a choice how to list it, however, and if his official website tells me it's supposed to be spelled as "Leroy", then that's what I'll use.

Waterworld (1995) not credited

only 2 should not be credited.

so this common name thread IMHO is invalid.

Sorry, but this is not correct per the rules! None of the listed credits is in the table. So they are invalid per the rules.
Quoting Contribution Rules (Credits):

Quote:
The table below gives each of the crew roles available within DVD Profiler. For each category, include only those people credited with the roles listed in the "Role" and "Credited As" columns. If someone is not credited with one of these roles (or direct translations of these roles), do not include them in the Crew section.

I would like a direct translation of "Key Special Makeup" myself. He's on my R2 dvd profile for Shocker and this proves he should be! The rules need to be rewritten so simple words like "key" won't cause good data to be considered wrong. Half of us consider "prosthetic" to be a direct translation of Make-up effects, what is so wrong with direct translations? Isn't the purpose of the whole program to track who did what for things we care about? Why limit it and ignore fine data because it has one extra word in the listing? Go for the spirit, not the letter of the rule! Thank Ken for the locks and ability to do it right on my local, gonna go add him to Frost/Nixon right now as I track prosthetics locally until I can flood the database with em if they ever change the rule wording.
